Depends on the cat. If they’re simply going with tapping the roll to spin it, that may work for a bit. I’ve found that rolls accessible to a cat tend to morph into big balls of clawed unusable pulp.

Yes, there is a low unemployment number. As with the rest, you haven’t validated that it’s a good measure of the current state of things. It’s arguably never been.

Yes, definitely increased some. Where’s the rest of the data, such as part time or unemployed, or even population growth? Like I said, a single number means not so much without context. But it’s an impressive graph.

Curious what shift there has been in full time/part time numbers. Full time wages going up is great for those who are experiencing it, but if there are less actual full timers, is that an improvement?

The art of a good statistician is to make sure what their numbers are saying is an actual reflection of reality. I’m not saying this graph is falsified, I don’t know. But numbers can be made to say anything. I learned this years ago in arguments about what “unemployment” meant. It’s much more complex than a single number, but a single number is used in the media because it’s easier to paint the picture wanted.

Usenet. Go back to the base level.

The issue isn’t the prices. It’s that the prices go up but income doesn’t. Get out the pitchforks, but let’s go after the real villains.

First I was mad, then I was sad.

This is bad.

A wizard should know better.

Does playing a white guy playing a black guy count?

The problem is that the cost doesn’t match the reward. I’d be totally fine with a 90/10 split for just a punch in the face. I’ll be over the injury in a week with a lot more than I started with. Raise the cost to losing an arm or leg for a cut, then even 50/50 seems a bit low as the victim’s life has changed but the other’s hasn’t.

I do agree with punching economists in the face more, just in principle.

Functional. Works.

Isn’t changing a tire on any of the Teslas a bit of a challenge because of the weight? Do they come with heavy duty jacks? I wonder if the Cybertruck even comes with a spare at all.

Thank goodness they put the sticker on the window. It would have damaged the door.

Neither are you. There’s always Ten Thousand on any topic.

I get doing things at a base level to say you can do it, but to not have some kind of backup safety that doesn’t take away from the feat is not wise imo. If you have such things and eventually make a mistake and it keeps you alive to continue climbing, how is that a bad thing? Also, it’s very insensitive and selfish to put yourself into a situation where if you do make a mistake and die, someone else has to take care of the results.

Any pinhole will do. My most memorable partial (haven’t been in a total path yet) was at a house where the trees cast shadows against the neighbor’s house, and there were hundreds of soft crescents all over the place from the leaves. Like a drive-in movie screen for the event.

We had a 5P back in the Win98 days, and it was exactly what you’d expect a printer to be. The refills were pricey, but they’d last a long time (we printed a lot then). And you could get a bit more life out of an empty drum if you shook the hell out it.

I do wonder about compatibility with Win10/11 at this point. I know some other old devices I still have around are all but impossible to get to work.
